La belle France

I love travelling, I am so lucky; my parents work in tourism, so I have traveled to Brazil, Peru and Argentine with them and I have known beautiful places! However I would like to go a too far-away country: France.

I dream with a long travel, far from everyone, be alone against the world, be alone fighting for myself for be understood. My childhood friend went to United States in an exchange school and, after a nervous crisis because she did not could communicate her for a long time, she learned English perfectly!

I don't know a lot of France, I would like go there to learn French and I would like know its culture, its way-life. I have seen some pictures and I think that their landscapes, its architecture, are wonderful.

If I go to France, I will go to Musée du Louvre, to Château de Versailles and, obviously, to La Tour Eiffel!
It would be fantastic to study in France, a classic sociologist: Émile Durkheim is from there. I hope go in a exchange, next year o in a few years!

Más Christmas!

Although Christmas has as origin the famous birth of Jesus Christ in the Christian people, it is possible to find different traditions around the world closer to this date and with a similar content.

Rather than talking about the Christian origin of Christmas, I would like to say the festivities are manifested in different places, becoming the Christmas a big making, where it is possible to see local traditions mixed with this Christian tradition. Christianity brought together popular creeds of folklore and make a tradition that remain for many years already.

Christmas, for me, represents, rather, the need for union, to meeting in a group. Of course, there is consumerism, the collective madness for gifts and other things, but also we have families who have time to dinner together, to hug, to celebrate and to be love each other. This is the way I celebrate Christmas, I could not imagine it without my family sitting at the table, without jokes and laughs, without hugs and kisses.

I like Christmas because it gives time to be with loved ones, probably life of today with its speed does not usually give us time to converse, to look into the eyes, to smile or even to be.

Well, I hope you enjoy this so easy: to be, to be with time and desire, be in full with your loved people  J Merry Christmas!

Bye bye holidays!

My first expectation for this semester is to have a breakdown. Second, maybe I will have intense and crazy holidays. And third, in April probably I will be crying for stress.
I am taking just the necessary subjects: Theory sociologic I and II, Economy II, Statistic III, Qualitative Techniques I, Epistemology and English IV; I would like to take Art's sociology, but our schedule changed, actually I think it would have been too hard to have other subject more because I took a painting course on Saturdays to relax me, but it is making me the opposite.


Well, I think is obvious how I feel studying in summer, but I want be clarify I feel so bad no precisely for my holidays, is the time for be with my family that hurts me, my brothers will not be in Kindergarten or in School, maybe my parents will not have a lot work. Chiefly, Christmas time... I don't know how people who doesn't live in Santiago they will.


What things I would like to do in class? I don't know, maybe it will be better if I don't expect anything, maybe that way, something surprise me!
